Terrier Motorsport

Terrier Motorsport is Boston University’s Formula SAE Electric team. Each year we design, manufacture, and race a fully electric, formula-style car—built entirely by students across engineering, computer science, and business. We learn by doing, prioritize safety and reliability, and compete at Formula Hybrid + Electric.

Our Values

  • Safety First

    Rules-compliant design and testing. No shortcuts.

    Students design, manufacture, wire, assemble, and own the work.

  • Learn by Doing

    Rapid cycles, clear feedback, and documented fixes.

  • Reliability > Flash

    Make it work, then make it faster. Finish the event.

  • Open Documentation

    Share CAD, code, and procedures so the next team moves faster.

  • Respect Time & Funds

    Plan, cost, and build like a real program, not a class project.
